About us

Our Organisation

Echo International Aid. was founded in 2014 by a group of young friends from Melbourne, who’s travels through South East Asia bought them to the Sangkhlaburi District in North West Thailand. There they discovered a vast population of displaced people from nearby Burma, with little or no rights in Thailand and no support services.

Despite widespread poverty, lack of child education, social and political issues, the people were caring and possessed such a generosity of spirt that these young Australians were inspired to want to give something back.

The organisation has since grown into a registered Australian charity, hosting regular fundraising events and appeals. Run entirely by volunteers, the team at Echo International Aid. are now directly funding efforts to assist individuals and communities all over the world.

Echo International Aid is a registered Australian charity who strive to create opportunity and self-sustainability for disadvantaged people and protect them from human rights abuse. We also are involved in building and reconstruction work in areas recovering from war and natural disasters. We are passionate about raising awareness and getting people involved on a grassroots level. We are completely staffed by volunteers who cover our admin costs themselves so 100% of everything we raise can go to the projects and people we support.
